Series creator Dick Wolf named SVU 's two lead detectives after his son, Elliot, and his daughter, Olivia. He is also a practicing Catholic whose faith sometimes complicates the cases on which he works. He is devoted to his family and frequently mentions or thinks about them while working cases. Stabler is Irish American and lived at 72-12 Castleside Street, Glen Oaks, Queens with his wife Kathy ( Isabel Gillies) and five children (Maureen, Kathleen, Richard "Dickie", Elizabeth "Lizzie", and Elliot "Eli" Jr.). In 2002 Stabler stated that he makes $68,000 a year, though this number is impossibly low for an NYPD detective with first grade rank and over 10 years of tenure, and is an invention of the show for dramatic purposes. Nonetheless, Stabler has a 97% case-closure rate as of 2007. Stabler is dedicated to his job but often takes cases personally, thus affecting his judgment. The first episode of Special Victims Unit takes place one year into Stabler and Benson's partnership. By 1998, Stabler held the prestigious rank of Detective First Grade and was assigned to mentor new partner Detective Olivia Benson ( Mariska Hargitay), a police officer with six years of experience who was transferred to the SVU as a newly promoted detective. In show continuity, Stabler became a detective with the SVU in late 1992. He joined the NYPD in 1986 or 1989, according to conflicting statements given in different episodes. Stabler was an NYPD detective 1st Grade with Manhattan's 16th Precinct, which investigates sex crimes. 6.3 Return to Law & Order with Organized Crime.The series was later revealed to be titled Law & Order: Organized Crime. In April 2020, it was announced that Meloni would reprise the role for a new SVU-spinoff series, where Stabler comes out of retirement to lead an NYPD organized crime task force. As a result of Meloni's sudden departure from the cast at the end of the SVU twelfth season, Stabler abruptly retires from the police force off-screen during the SVU Season 13 premiere. Stabler was a lead for the first 12 seasons of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. ( / ˈ s t eɪ b l ər/) is a fictional character, played by Christopher Meloni and one of the lead characters on the NBC police procedural series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organized Crime. Parents: Joseph Stabler (father, deceased) Big sigh.And Law & Order: Organized Crime) character This season just doesn’t know where it wants to go with the characters and it seems like it’s trying everything. So, what did you think? Tell me your TwoCents in the comments! I’m hoping next week will be better. On a related note, what Stabler kid will we see next week? He’s been on a downward spiral for some time now and he’s yet to hit rock bottom. I don’t know how much farther he’s got to go before he just has a complete breakdown. The only thing better than that would be Munch taking to Neil Armstrong about it.Ĥ. This was the highlight of the episode for me. Conspiracy theories? Munch? Really? I loved Munch versus an astronaut on whether or not we went to the moon. I don’t know about you but for the first twenty minutes, every time they were confused about some aspect of the victim, I would just point up and say, “Space.” I guess the detectives and the ME don’t get the same tip off we do from NBC.ģ. When the previews talk about astronauts, it makes you think the episode is going to be about (surprise) astronauts. The ads for the episode fail us yet again. This whole episode was set up just so we could watch Stabler get upset and be disappointed again. I might have been less suspicious if it wasn’t James Brolin but come on. Let’s see, he’s a big guest star, he means so much to Stabler that he named his son after him and he’s absolutely desperate to get to the moon. This week, SVU fell back into old habits and decided to have James Brolin attempt to play an astronaut and Stabler’s hero. We’ve been on a good streak of great guest stars and ones that fit into the show quite nicely. SVU has fallen back into the same old routine of shoving guest stars and predictable twists at us and I think we deserve a bit better, don’t you?ġ. Kara – TwoCents Staff week, James Brolin and Chris Elliot stop by and succeed in being distracting.
